Sutherland hits the web for new thriller

Sutherland completed his time as Jack Bauer on hit TV drama 24 last year (10) after eight seasons, and he's moved online for his new project, The Confession.

Sutherland stars as a hitman discussing theology with a priest, played by actor John Hurt, in the episodes, which last just five minutes.

But despite the short scripts, the actor admits he still struggled to figure out the twist-filled plot.

He tells Entertainment Weekly, "A drama in five-minute episodes! It can't be that complicated to figure out a story in five minutes, right? I couldn't and it frustrated the c**p out of me. So I went home that night, still thinking about it, and it stayed with me for three days. I was falling asleep when I literally got this idea of a confessional."
